Anyone gonna be playing it? I've played the demo twice (Which did the uber smart thing of a timed free roam romp like Just Cause 2) and I think it'll be a good time. The first one was great, if abit bland, but going for the darker tone of a city in turmoil with the mutants and resistance cell members, could make this more interesting than...crime fighting with powers that it was before. I already have it pre-ordered and it is 360 only.
I think my only beef for the game was that targeting was wonky. Alot of the time when I would want to focus on a guy, it would target some guy like a mile away and not the guy right in front of me. I guess it just goes for where-ever your reticle is pointing at, but it got annoying, especially when it would target a vehicle and not a person lol Aside form that, it's much like other Free Roam combat action where you target a guy and then flick your right stick to aim for specific parts like head shots or you can disarm the enemy. Once you get how it works, it can be great to run around just start popping heads.
Freaks seem like they are gonna be crazy to fight too. At night, Freaks will come out in the hundreds, swarming streets, which make for the perfect time to do some road rage on them lol They are challenging themselves too, some taking a good bit of ammo.
Weapon variety wasn't very mixed, only coming across a couple weapons in the demo, basically a shotgun, two machine guns, and some...short range energy blast gun. It doesn't go farther than like 30 feet, but you can instantly decimate Freaks in large groups with it. Was great for when your getting swarmed, but you can't run off.
If you never played Crackdown, just think of it being...Saints Row 2 with Mutants and Super Powers lol
